Abstract
A variety of experiments investigating properties of neutrons can be performed at pulsed reactor neutron sources like the research reactor TRIGA Mainz. A typical problem faced by these experiments is the non-availability of a reliable facility-provided trigger signal in coincidence with the neutron production. Here we present the design and implementation of a neutron pulse detector that provides a coincident trigger signal for experimental timing with a relative precision of 4.5 ms.
